In the FPS tutorial availible on this site, there is one continuous floor stretching as far as the room goes. I am wondering how one can get rid of the floor and be able to make separate, floor tiles.

Simple answer ? Use floor-part objects (much like walls, but using "d3d_draw_floor(...)" to draw them).

Do not try to use tiles as you do in 2D games. It won't work as neat as you expect it to do :

• When you use the 3D functionality, there are a number of other things that can no longer be used.
  
• ....
• You cannot use tiles anymore. Tiles will most likely no longer match up correctly.

And yes, using a lot of them will slow-down your game.

Hope that helps.

thank you. I will try that!

Wait. Do I put the texture where it has the (...)?

I tried it, but it didn't work!

That "d3d_draw_floor(...)" is a reference to a GML-comand, and I expect you to open-up GM's help and read all about it

Hint : compare the "d3d_draw_wall(...)" with the "d3d_draw_floor(...)" command.

Hope that helps.

It does work.


If you think the above is not helpfull at all, why than do you think that an answer like "it does not work" is helpfull to me ?

Mind you : you expect me to give you a solution. How can I, when I do not even know what you did ?

Just make an object (obj_floortile)
With in Create event:

z=0

In it's draw event:

d3d_draw_floor(x,y,z,x+32,y+32,z,background_get_texture(tex_floor),1,1)

If you like, try the "Upward Sliding Doors" tutorial, found on this page. It uses tiles for floors (and ceilings) with code like this:

//draw floor
d3d_draw_floor(x-32,y+32,z,     x+32,y-32,z,        tex,1,1);

//ceiling too
d3d_draw_floor(x-32,y-32,z+128,     x+32,y+32,z+128,        obj_Wall.tex,1,1);

Hope that helps.

I got it to work. Thank you.
